School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Gender Issues Committee

From 1989 to 1993, Morgan chaired the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) Gender Issues Committee which was tasked to advance gender equity at SGS and raise retention rates for women. Initially titled “Women’s Issues Committee”, Morgan argued that the committee needed to do empirical research including all graduate students in order to determine what might be attributable to gender with respect to equity considerations, and as a result the committee was renamed “Gender Issues Committee”. The committee undertook a large empirical research project, surveying all female graduate students at the U of T (approximately 4000) and 1000 male graduate students.

Committee members:

  • 1989-1990: Eleanor Cook, Ursula Franklin, Niall Byrne, James (Jim) Prentice, Jennifer Nedelsky, Lois Reimer, Angela Hofstra (graduate student), June Larkin (researcher)
  • 1990-1991: Catherine Grise, Ursula Franklin, James (Jim) Prentice, Alison Li (graduate student), Lois Reimer, Sam Minsky, June Larkin (external researcher), Sylvia Bashevkin, Rachel Webster (post-doc), Jennifer Nedelsky, Joe Carens

The Final Report was never tabled, but nevertheless several of the recommendations were implemented by SGS and the University.

Files include: background readings and reports of similar work being conducted at other universities and in other areas of the U of T in parallel; literature reviews; minutes, correspondence, and memos; draft recommendations and feedback by Rose Sheinin, Ursula Franklin, Bruce Kidd, David Rayside, Alison Prentice, Ann Saddlemyer, Frank Cunningham, Lorna Marsden; quantitative data and qualitative data categorized by sex and SGS division; conference presentations and reports to campus groups including the SGS Council of Deans.
